Maclaren Quest Sport Baby Stroller

Maclaren Quest Sport is a smart, Sporty baby stroller perfect for daily use around the city. It’s suitable from 3 months onwards, is lightweight and easy to manoeuvre.

Maclaren Quest Baby Stroller: The Pros

This Maclaren baby pushchair is suitable for 3+ month-old children to toddlers weighing up to 15 kg (3 to 4 years old). It’s a basic pushchair stroller that will suit those with limited storage space.

The hood tilts for added sun protection and has got a UV protective viewing window and can be adjusted. It also has a storage pocket where you can put small things like your purse or house keys. The raincover is zipped onto the hood and goes all the way down underneath the stroller.

The back support reclines in 4 positions, and is easy enough to prop up or down.

The stroller has the usual safety features typical of Maclaren Pushchairs, like a sturdy, aeronautical-quality aluminum frame, 5-point adjustable harness, lockable front swivel wheels, reflective strips for those gloomy British days, ergonomic padded handles, a removable washable seat cover, adjustable leg rest and calf support, mesh shopping basket, and foot brakes that are simple to put on or off.

The umbrella folding mechanism of the stroller is so easy you can do it with one hand. When folded, it’s only 27 x 104 x 32 cm so it’s quite compact. It weighs about 5.5kg without hood, basket or raincover so you can imagine how light it is to push, steer and even carry around or up and and down stairs.

Pushchair Accessories Included in Price (May vary from Merchant to Merchant):

• Hood
• Shopping basket
• Raincover

Maclaren Quest Sport: The Cons
The handles of this Maclaren stroller, although not adjustable, are ergonomically optimized and foam insulated.

The Quest Sport, although Sporty looking, is not an all terrain pushchair so if you know you’re going to use it on rougher surfaces like gravel, cobbles and country roads very often, be aware that the Maclaren Quest’s small wheels are not made for that sort of use.

Conclusion
The Maclaren Quest Sport Buggy is a great buy for those who are looking for reliable, compact, lightweight pushchair that can be used from 3 months onwards. I will recommend this baby stroller especially for those who want a buggy for daily city use, those who rely on public transportation, and for those who live in upper ground flats.

Bugaboo Bee Baby Stroller in Pink

Before I set my eyes on the Bugaboo Bee I didn’t think it was possible to fall head over heels in love with a stroller – and at first sight, at that! But then again I’m a certified pramaholic so I should really have seen it coming!

I could still remember how I got so nervous trying it out because I was dreading the possibility of it “breaking my heart”. What if it was all looks and no substance? What if it wasn’t as reliable as it looked? What if using it wasn’t as easy or pleasurable as a dance in the park as the advert portrayed? Well, only one way to find out…

Bugaboo Bee Travel System: The Pros
When I first tested it at the shop I had to keep telling myself to remain rational (I had a feeling that there was a huge possibility that regardless of the test “outcome” I was still going to buy it!). I couldn’t help myself- t’was a jaw-dropping eye candy. Like a puppy so cute and adorable, you wanna steal it from the mother and take it home with you and wish it wouldn’t ever grow up and change.

So yes, I bought it!

That was about 3 months ago, so I’ve had enough time to evaluate it. And yes, I still love it just as much as the first time I set eyes on it.

It’s so gorgeous that it turned heads. Sometimes I even felt disappointed for people noticing the buggy first, before my li’l Natalie! Lol! It’s obviously been designed for the fashionistas who’d willingly sacrifice practicality and functionality over looks, but thankfully the Bee actually delivered well over my expectations.

One of the best thing about it is that it’s a dream to push. Rounding corners, getting it over kerbs, getting on and off the bus, turning it in tight spaces… all It’s so easy to manoeuvre that I can even do it with one hand sometimes.

A really handy feature is the reversible seat, which was a huge plus for me. I was due in about a week when I got the Bee so I wanted a travel system that would let me have my baby facing me during the first 3 months.

Another great feature is the bright coloured hood that’s also washable. Even though mine suffered a lot of spillages it hadn’t stained (so far!), so I really appreciate that because the hood is one of the biggest factors that makes up its overall look.

The seat recline has 4 positions, but it doesn’t recline to more than 150 degrees so even though it is suitable for newborn, it’s actually not the ideal position for them. That’s why I bought it with a car seat.

I think the Bee is compatible with many car seats, but I use the Maxi Cosi cabriofix car seat with it which works great. It’s so easy to attach and detach.

I love the fact that it’s teensy so have no trouble putting it in the boot with enough room for other things, too.

I think it weighs about 8.5 kg, which is relatively light for a travel system. I have no trouble carrying it when I need to, but then again I’m fairly fit so someone else might find it quite bothersome.

The height adjustable handle bar goes from 89 cm to 107 cm, so in my estimate people from 5′2″ to well over 6 foot tall will be able to find a comfortable handle height for themselves. I’m actually 5′7″ and my darling hubby is 6′2″ and we both find the Bee’s handles comfy enough.

The tyres are rubberized with spring suspension, making what could have been bumpy ride like a walk in the clouds. It’s not an all terrain though, so I wouldn’t use it on the country side too often.

Many parents complained about the brakes in reviews, but Bugaboo had already fixed the issue now. Mine definitely works and I had no problem with it whatsoever.

Bugaboo Bee: The Cons
Although I’m fairly in love with the Bee, I have identified several factors that for our purposes here may need highlighting:

As I mentioned earlier it doesn’t lie fully flat which is best for newborns. So my recommendation is to get it with a suitable car seat.

The storage basket is hard to access, and can only be accessed from the front which is a real bummer.

The seat is narrow and there’s little headroom that it’s very easy to outgrow it. Taller and bigger children will easily and quickly outgrow it. My Big Ben is now 3 years old and he could barely get his head in the hood.

Lastly, it is expensive (about £420 a pop) but that’s part of what makes it iconic and precious, i guess!

Conclusion

Yes, I would definitely recommend it to parents who would like a trendy, lightweight, versatile, easy to use city buggy that will fit anywhere. It’s pricey, but the Bugaboo Bee is a style icon so worth the price!

Micralite Toro Baby Stroller

The Micralite Toro is a luxury buggy stroller that’s capable of taking on any bumpy surface and still offer a very comfy, smooth ride. It’s perfect for those who wants a great all-rounder lightweight pushchair suitable for air travel, convenient and stylish enough for city use, and sturdy enough for off-road use!

Micralite Toro: The Pros

The Toro is a luxury pushchair designed to adapt to your child’s changing needs. It’s been designed to function as a 4-in-1 system:

1. a newborn system if used with the carrycot
2. a travel system if used with a car seat (e.g., Maxi Cosi Cabrio car seat)
3. Stroller / Buggy
4. All terrain pushchair, especially if bought with the all-terrain kit

What we are reviewing here is the stroller component only.

The first thing you’ll notice about the Toro is its good looks. It looks unique and trendy, and many parents who own it admitted how it turns heads anywhere and get a lot of compliments from strangers.

The Toro pushes extremely well and although it is lightweight, it feels very stable and sturdy. It’s one of the easiest Baby Pushchairs to steer – so much so that you can even manoeuvre it effortlessly with one hand. The raincover is included in the package too and can be zipped onto the hood.

The stroller is suitable from 6 months until your toddler reaches 40 lbs. (roughly 4 years). The seat is quite roomy, it’s made with waterproof fabric, comes with a removable bumper bar, matching front apron, a 5 point harness, and the matching hood has a sun visor that you can flip in or out from under the hood and offer good coverage.

The handlebars are not height-adjustable in the traditional sense, but the handle grips can be angled to point downwards, at 90 degrees, or to point straight up.

The seat recline is one of the easiest and smoothest I have come across. It has 3 recline positions and allow your baby to lie completely flat. You can even adjust it without disturbing your sleeping baby.

Like the Micralite Fastfold baby stroller, the rear wheels are pneumatic and air-filled, and the front swivel wheels are lockable (The front wheels are wider than the rear wheels). If you want to convert it to a full all-terrain pushchair, you can replace teh front wheels with pneumatic tyres.

Folding and unfolding it is very easy, and is secured in place with a clip when folded. It also stands upright on its own when folded. Its dimensions when folded is 96 x 38 x 41 cm and can fit in the boot of a medium sized car no problem.

Weighing only 8.5 kg, it really is easy to take it in and out of the car, taxis or even up and down stairs.

Other Pros worthy to note:

• Effective, easy to apply brakes
• Comes in a wide range of colours and trendy accessories
• Super comfy seats

Micralite Toro: The Cons

Now for the Cons. One thing we noticed right away is that the bumper bar is a bit high for a small baby.

As mentioned earlier, the handle bar angle position can be adjusted, but with an alan key. I think this is rather silly because it just makes it inconvenient, but in the bigger scheme of things it’s no big deal.

In fact I have a few improvements to suggest for the Toro, but they can all be regarded as minor flaws:

• The leg support is not adjustable
• The hood would have been better with a viewing window
• The shopping basket is prone to getting kicked by older kids as their legs grow and therefore have longer reach. It’s also got a capacity of 2 kg which is much less than many buggy strollers, and can be accessed only from the front of the pushchair. This set up makes it rather awkward to access. Now because of the limited storage you might be tempted to hang a bag or shopping bag over the handle bars. The manufacturer discourages this as this will make your pushchair buggy prone to tipping.

Taller people might struggle a bit with this pushchair. If you are taller than 5′8″, you might find the handles a bit low and you could find it easy to end up kicking the back wheels as you walk.

Conclusion

We recommend this baby stroller to parents who needs a pushchair that can take on any surface, is great for public transportation and one that can be opened and closed fast while on the go. If you want a pushchair that “does it all”, is big in style and functionality and yet still practical, portable and compact, then the Micralite Toro is for you. It really is as good as it looks!

Micralite Fastfold Buggy and Carrycot in Red

Micralite Fastfold buggy is a semi all-terrain pushchair that is very easy to move around, looks unique, easy to fold, and can be manoeuvred with one hand. It’s a very popular favourite of many mums and dads who have used it, and even won the Best Buy Award from Which? Consumer Reviews!

Micralite Fastfold: The Pros
The Micralite Fastfold pushchair is suitable for children from 6 months onwards, but the carrycot of course can be used from birth.

The buggy is small to begin with and so it’s even more compact when folded, making it ideal for those who will be using it with public transportation. It’s also ideal for those who live in flats, as it’s a cinch to carry up and down stairs.

It’s ergonomic design makes it so easy to be folded with one hand, as you can see in the video demo.

Weighing only 7 kg, it is a very lightweight buggy. It’s very easy to steer even around corners or tight spaces. It’s got a big hood with large window opening so you can always keep an eye on your little one. The window’s flap opening is held by velcro.

The seat of the pushchair is a simple fabric that can be attached and detached onto the chassis easily, almost like a hammock. There’s a secure 5-point harness with generous padding and a headhugger to support your child’s neck. The fabric that makes up the buggy can be tucked away and stored in a little hold-all bag included in the package.

The rear wheels are air-filled pneumatic tyres, while the front wheels are lockable front swivel wheels. This makes it very easy to use on tricky surfaces like gravel, sand, snow and even country roads. If you want to make it a full fledged off-roader however, you can also purchase the “All-terrain Kit”: a set of air-filled, pneumatic tyres to replace the 2 front wheels. Also, the wheels are removable so it’s handy when you need to make more room in your storage space.

The brakes are foot-operated and simple enough to engage and disengage. The Fastfold pushchair stands on its own when folded.

The carrycot comes with a removable hood that also adjusts to various positions. The front apron is included in the package. The woven fabric is waterproof, the padded liner is washable, and it comes with a nice comfy mattress. The carrying handles is made of fabric so it can be tucked away by folding it on the side. It’s easy enough to take off the chassis and weighs only 4 kg.

Lastly, the raincover is also included in the package and is fully aerated on the side. It’s elasticated and attaches by velcro. There’s also a nifty little carrying bag included for the raincover, and a little hand-operated pump for the air-filled tyres.
Cons

The only disappointments we have about this pushchair is the underseat basket and the handle height being in a fixed position at 102 cm.

The shopping basket is small, looks cheap and is not easily accessible. However there is an attached purse included for your small bits and bobs, plus you can always just hang a bag on the handles to make up for this flaw.

Conclusion
The Micralite Fastfold with carrycot is a great buy if you’re looking for a reliable, convenient, easy-to-use package that you can use from birth until your baby is a toddler. The baby stroller is perfect for those looking for a lightweight, compact, easy to fold buggy that’s suitable for both off-road use and great for public transport use.

Urban Detour Vesta 3 Wheeler Baby Stroller

Urban Detour Vesta is one of the most inexpensive, trendy 3 Wheeler buggy that’s surprisingly lightweight, handles well even on rough terrains, easy to fold, has a good sized shopping basket, and fits in most car boots.

Urban Detour Vesta: The Pros

The Vesta is a baby stroller that has a lot of useful features. It weighs only slightly over 8 kg (17.6 lbs), and it can stand on its own when folded.

The seat pad is reversible and you can get them on striking, contrasting colours which makes it look good. It’s also easily removable from the seat and is washable.

It’s suitable to be used from birth as the back support reclines for more than 120 degrees, which is the minimum angle for pushchairs back support required by UK law. It does not recline to more than 150 degrees which is best for newborn babies, as lying totally flat on their back facilitates their spinal development. Bottomline: you can use it for newborns, but it’s good practice not to leave your newborn baby in the Vesta for too long and too often.

Although it’s not an all-terrain (3 wheeler) buggy, the Vesta, much to our surprise, is quite easy to push. It’s easy to pull up and push down stairs, handles well on kerbs, pavements and manages to offer a smooth ride even on rough surfaces.

One thing we like about it a lot is the storage basket which offers a generous room for your stuff.

Other Pros worthy to note:

• The fabric is easy enough to clean with a wet sponge.
• Easy to fold and unfold
• Lockable double front swivel wheel
• padded bumper bar

Urban Detour Vesta: The Cons

The Vesta is not the easiest pushchair to carry by hand, so it’s great if you want a pushchair great for using outdoors, but not so great if you are going to be carrying it around a lot while it’s folded.

The Vesta is quite weak in terms of Adjustability. Although it is suitable from birth, it does not have a reversible seat unit so you don’t have the option to have your baby facing you. Its handle height is not adjustable, the number of back rest position is limited, and the leg rest is not adjustable.

Chicco Trio-For-me Travel System

The Chicco Trio Travel System is perfect for those who’d like to get an all-purpose pushchair system that can be used from birth until their child’s toddler years

Chicco Trio Travel System: The Pros

This Travel System comes with so many extras that you will feel like you are getting so much value out of your money:

• Stroller
• Fleece-lined footmuff
• Changing Bag
• Chicco Auto fix Child Car Seat with base
• Carrycot
• Raincover
• sun canopy

Compared to other Travel Systems, the Trio For Me is relatively lighter and more compact.

Stroller

The Stroller is suitable from birth until 15 kg (about 3 or 4 years old) and includes a footmuff, hood and reversible seat

The stroller’s seat unit is well padded and comfortable for your little one, and it is also reversible so you can have your child facing you or towards the direction of travel. It has an adjustable leg support and and an adjustable 5 point harness with full body support.

The back rest can easily be adjusted to 4 positions smoothly even with one hand, because all it involves is pressing a button and then either pulling down or pushing up the back support.

The big, adjustable hood has a see-through part making it light and airy during hot summer days or when you’re holidaying abroad.

It’s easy to fold and unfold, and you can fold it easily even with seat on – but much easier to fold it with seat on if the seat is facing you.

Although the handle height is not adjustable, the angles of the handles can be adjusted in unique ways. The handle can be adjusted from a single handle bar to a double handle bar by removing the middle part that joins the 2 handles together. The angle of the handle bars can be adjusted to various positions, too. When folded, you can also make the length of the pushchair shorter by adjusting the length of the handlebars.

Other Pros worthy to note about the Stroller:

• Removable bumper bar
• It’s easy to push even on rougher surfaces.
• Stands upright when folded

Car Seat

The car seat is suitable from birth to 13 kg and comes with a base. It is suitable to use from birth until about 9-12 months.

The car seat is very sturdy, but the most brilliant thing about it is that it’s incredibly easy to attach and remove. It has a 3 point adjustable padded harness, a hood, and removable, washable covers.

Carrycot

The carrycot can be used from birth up until about 6 months. It makes a pram or travel system when fitted on to the chassis.

It’s got a hood with air flow opening and sun visor, front apron, fully padded inside with mattress and removable covers. There is a round disc at the bottom of the carry cot that you can use to adjust the back rest. This just gives your baby the option to slightly sit higher as they get older and older. It’s got a one piece adjustable handle, too.
Chicco Trio for Me: The Cons

Because of the many things that come with it, you can already imagine how much storage space you will need to fit all these in to your storage space or boot. Also it can be quite heavy, but as we said it’s relatively light for a travel system.

The only other fault we can say about it is that although the shopping basket is roomy, it is difficult to access because of the cross bars which act as supporting mechanism for the chassis.

Conclusion

A common let-down of travel systems is that by trying to be everything (a pram, a stroller, a car seat, etc.) they often end up being great at very little. Not so with the Trio For Me. It has successfully achieved being an all-around system that can cater perfectly to your newborn’s transporting needs up until they are old enough to outgrow it. The Trio For Me is a big hit among parents, some of whom mentioned that they have used the same pushchair for their second and even third child.

Bebeconfort Loola Up in Red & Black

The Bebe Confort Loola Up Pushchair is an innovative, stylish little pushchair designed for those who enjoys strolling around the city but have limited space in their boot or at home to store a pushchair in. Easy to use, light to carry, and super simple to tuck away, the Loola Up is a cool, feature-rich cute pushchair perfect for trendy city dwellers.

Bebe Confort Loola Up: The Pros

The Loola Up Pushchair is the next model up from the Loola model, hence the name. They added a few improvements for extra comfort, control and style, giving maximum comfort for your baby.

The height of the single-piece handle bar is easily adjustable to 3 positions and is designed to make it easier for the pusher to get the push chair on and off pavements, so that even doing it single-handed is easy.

The Loola Up may be little, but this baby stroller has several features, some of which are unique and patented:

1. The seat cover is reversible, giving you 2 colours without having to buy 2 seat covers.
2. It has the patented 3D folding to make it easy to fold and unfold.
3. The seat itself can be made to face toward the pusher or toward the direction of travel. If your child is 6 months or under it’s best to keep them facing you as this helps increase their communication skills and seeing your face also gives them comfort. However when they are older they prefer to see the outside world and this also provides a higher mental stimulation.
4. The front wheels are lockable swivel wheels, but instead of having to reach down every time you want to lock them, you just slide the patented Modulo Drive (R) control on the side of the chassis and viola – your swivel wheels are now locked! No more fiddling with the wheels themselves or risking to get your hands dirty. (Speaking of which, remember to lock the swivel wheels first before folding)
5. Another great feature of the Loola Up is the all round suspensions (yes, it has suspension on both the front and rear wheels). As you will see in the video, it has a unique suspension that you can set to either 1 or 2 (set it to 2 for heavier kids).
6. Yet another unique feature of the Loola Up is that the raincover is zipped onto the hood instead of going over the hood. This may take a bit of getting used to, but in our opinion it’s quite good because your rain cover is not as big so you won’t need as much space when you unfold it or store it in your bag.

Remember too, that if you use it with a compatible car seat and carry cot it would make a travel system. A list of compatible pushchair accessories is listed under the ‘Pushchair Accessories’ Tab above.

Other Pros worthy to note:

• Easy to use foot brakes – red for ‘on’, blue for ‘off’
• Suitable from birth to 15 kg
• Easy to fold and unfold
• removable bumper bar with a soft cover that is also removable
• 5 point fully adjustable harness
• Reversible seat
• The hood has a viewing window so you can easily check up on your child
• Easy to clean – the seat cover is removable and washable
• Convenient for public transport use

BebeConfort Loola Up: The Cons
The under carriage storage is bigger than most pushchairs but some parents claim that things can fall out of it relatively easily.

Some parents find the bend in the middle of the handle bar a bit annoying, but when I’ve tried it I didn’t find it bothersome at all. However I can understand why some parents find it fiddly.

One of the most common complaints for the Loola when it first came out was that its harness wasn’t long enough. I’ve heard that the manufacturer had taken action on this already and had this issue fixed.

Lastly, the Loola Up is not an off-road buggy so if you plan to use it often on rough terrains, remember that it’s not meant for this, that’s why it’s mainly marketed towards people living in the city. If you live in the countryside, consider buying 3 Wheeler Pushchairs or all-terrain pushchairs instead.
Conclusion

The Loola Up has some unusual accessories that are not found on other pushchair models.For such a little pushchair, it does pack on a punch when it comes to useful and functional features. It also looks great, very adjustable, comfortable, easy to use and is perfect for city dwellers.

Mutsy 4 Rider Light

Mutsy 4 Rider Light Baby Stroller can also function as a Pram and Travel System if bought with the relevant kits. It’s perfect for those looking for a sturdy, well-built, extremely versatile pushchair that handles well on most terrains, easy to fold and unfold and easy to manage for public transport use.

Pros

One look at Mutsy’s product range and you can easily see that they are catering to young, fashionable parents who values both looks and functionality, both design and practicality. We are yet to meet a parent who owns it who’s got something big to complain about the Mutsy 4 Rider.

The 4 Rider is one of the most versatile pushchairs in the market to date. If used as a travel system ( with the Mutsy Safe 2 go child car seat), the 4 Rider will give you the convenience to take your sleeping baby while she’s in a car seat, move her out, clip the car seat onto the chassis, and off you go. No need to disturb her while she’s fast asleep.

We found it quite easy to clip the seat unit, carry cot and car seat directly onto the frame. The chassis is very lightweight and it’s so easy to attach and detach accessories to / from it. You just put a car seat/ carry cot / on it and it easily clicks in place.

The storage basket, as you can see in the pictures here, is easy to reach and will remain accessible even when the seat is in full recline position. It’s quite spacious, too albeit slightly shallow for my liking.

The baby stroller comes with a big and easily removable hood with window so you can easily check what your sweet li’l ‘un is up to. The hood also has a back pocket – handy for storing little things like your iphone, purse or house keys.

It’s got a reversible seat, and it’s suitable for newborns as the seat can lay almost completely flat, but as we mentioned earlier you can attach the Mutsy carry cot to the chassis and there you have a pram. Parents we spoke to love using the carry cot with a matching Mutsy footmuff.

One of the things that’s really great about the Mutsy is that it’s so easy to push and steer, so it’s great to use when you’re in the city but because of the rear pneumatic tyres and lockable front swivel wheels at the front, it’s also great on rural areas, too. Some users often said that they can easily push and steer this Mutsy with one hand. It also performs well on stairs – it’s probably one of the easiest pushchairs to pull/push when going up/down stairs.

A common problem with tall people is that many pushchair models seem to have been made only for shorter people only. The 4 Rider’s designer however, considered tall people’s concerns as well when they made this stroller. The Mutsy’s foam-covered handles adjust from 93 to 114 cm at a single click of a button so this is rather handy when there’s a big difference between your height and your partner’s, making the 4 Rider easy to push for either of you.

Mutsy also has a wide variety of compatible gears and kits and accessories that will cater to every whim. You can purchase a carry cot, a nursery bag, footmuff, sun canopy, step up board, car seat and probably the best loved of all is the “Fun Seat” – a seat with a steering wheel – presumably made for your little race car enthusiast (please see the Pushchair Accessories Section for more details).

Other Pros worthy to note:

• The fabric is very easy to clean with a wet sponge.
• Easy to fold and unfold
• Easily removable front bumper
• Seat reclines to 4 positions
• Safety harness is well padded
• Leg support has 3 positions
• Self locking and free standing when folded

Cons

The Mutsy 4 Rider is relatively bulky,but the wheels are easily removable so this makes it easier to fit even in a boot of a hatchback. It won’t leave much room for anything else though, so you are probably better off with a bigger boot if you are going to store this pushchair in your boot a lot of the time.

It can be heavy for some and awkward to lift, but again this is down to your personal fitness. Some parents find it heavy, others find it moderately heavy, while others don’t mind at all. It also doesn’t have a carry strap, which makes it more awkward to carry. However, many of its users seem to find this inconvenience to be a very trivial thing.

The reclining button mechanism requires 2 hands to operate.

While it’s quite easy and simple to fold , it cannot be folded with one hand.

Conclusion
Despite being heavy and bulky when folded, the Mutsy 4 Rider Light made it to our Best Buy List because of its versatility, durability, impressive performance and handling, and because it’s so easy to use and push. Not to forget of course, that it’s an extremely good looking but practical and fun pushchair.

Silvercross Pop Baby Stroller

Silver Cross POP is named so because it’s designed to enable you to pop out to the shops, pop out for a quick walk in the park or pop over to your friends. It’s also perfect to take with you for those lovely weekends away or holidays abroad. It’s simple, lightweight, super easy and quick to fold, push, store and carry.

Pros
Silver Cross Pop has 4 sets of lockable, non-pneumatic swivel wheels with brakes activated by a smooth foot pedal. Because of the wheels, the Pop stroller handles well. It’s very easy to manouevre and negotiate over kerbs and around corners.

What we love most about the POP Stroller is its compact size. Weighing only 6.5 kg, it’s quite light and everything about it is easy – it’s easy to fold, unfold, recline, stow away, adjust, carry, and it’s easy to clean, too.

The seat reclines in various positions and even do this with your child on the seat.

It fits at the boot of a Clio or VW Golf.

Other Pros worthy to note:

• Ergonomic soft touch grip handles
• Retractable hood (with a handy storage pocket at the back)
• Suitable from birth to 3-4 years
• Adjustable leg rest
• One-handed adjustment system
• Adjustable cup holder

Cons

While it’s suitable for babies from birth because it can recline for more than 120 degrees, Silver Cross POP doesn’t recline for more than 150 degrees. So bear this in mind if you’re planning to get this for your newborn.

The seat can be lowered, but may cause slight difficulty for you to access the small storage basket at the bottom.

One of the downsides some parents have mentioned in group discussions is that the shopping bag of the Silver Cross POP is rather small and can hold only a few nappies and a packet of wipes. However the chassis is sturdy enough to hold a light enough shopping bag so all is not lost.

Conclusion
Silver Cross POP is a great little lightweight baby stroller handy as a second pushchair that you can use for quick strolls around town or on walks, and also makes a great holiday buggy. Its compact size is perfect for storing in your boot to keep it always at hand.
